TN woman dupes people in B'luru of lakhs of rupees; uses RBI, Finance Minister's names to gain faith
Bengaluru: In a duping incident reported from Anekal taluk, people lost lakhs of rupees to a woman who used the names of Finance Minister of India Nirmala Sitharaman and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) while offering them high amounts of subsidy along with the money she lent them.
The fraudster, identified as Pavithra, a native of Hosur in Tamil Nadu, had opened an agency named 'Blue Wings' and claimed that the RBI had granted her agency up to Rs 17 crore, to gain the trust of the people she called. She later started presenting fake documents with the signature of the Finance Minister as proof in favour of the agency. Next, she started sending the people video clips of the bundles of the money 'Blue Wings' was working with.
Gaining the confidence of the people she called with such tricks, Pavithra then started assuring them that she would lend them money without much fuss or lengthy procedures. She offered Rs 5 lakh as subsidy for every Rs 10-lakh loan she gave, but added that the clients would have to deposit money with the agency before getting the loan amount.
The clients, believing Pavithra's words to be true, deposited very high amounts of their money with the 'Blue Wings' agency. When they got no loan from the other party even after waiting for a couple of months, they realized that they had been duped by Pavithra. People from various areas, like Chandapura, Attibele, Hosur and Dharmapuri, reportedly lost a lot of their money in the incident.
A case was registered against Pavithra and her accomplices by the Attibele Police based on a complaint filed by Rathnamma, a resident of Mayasandra. The officers said that case has also been booked against Praveen, Yallappa, Sheela, Rukmini, Radha, Mamatha, Nehruji, Sharat Kumar, Satish, Manjula, Martin, Hemalatha, Shalini and the other people involved in the duping act, and that investigation is underway.

Among developing states, TN leads with growth of 11.19 per cent, no thanks to BJP: Udhayanidhi
Thanjavur/Pudukottai (PTI): Tamil Nadu currently stands as the number one state among India’s developing regions, boasting a significant growth rate of 11.19 per cent, despite a stark lack of support from the BJP-led union government, Deputy Chief Minister Udhyanidhi Stalin said on Sunday.
"The central administration has failed to provide requested projects or the funds rightfully due to the state. This neglect reached a peak in the last Union Budget, where the name "Tamil Nadu" was entirely absent, with no new projects allocated to the region," Udhayanidhi told the gathered crowd at Peravurani in Thanjavur.
He also accused the central government of "attempting to undermine" the state's cultural identity by re-imposing a 'Three-Language Policy' and pushing Hindi and Sanskrit into the territory.
"While these threats loom, the opposition leader, Edappadi Palaniswami, remains silent. Instead of questioning these injustices, he has formed an alliance with the BJP, effectively facilitating the entry of these policies into Tamil Nadu," the Deputy Chief Minister added.
According to him, the upcoming assembly election presents a critical opportunity for the people to respond to this continuous neglect.
"It is time for the voters to decide whether to support the Tamil Nadu team or a Delhi team that ignores the state’s developmental needs and linguistic heritage," he added.
Earlier, speaking at Viralimalai in Pudukottai, he argued that this election "is a war between the Delhi Team and the Tamil Nadu Team".
"We are the Tamil Nadu Team...we must send Delhi Team back to where they came from with a decisive win," he said.
He urged the electorate to break the "remote control" Delhi uses to try and control Tamil Nadu.
Udhayanidhi attacked the opposition, specifically targeting incumbent MLA and AIADMK candidate C Vijayabaskar by calling him a "drama company actor", who is part of a "slave group" being threatened by the CBI and ED.
The deputy CM listed the infrastructure and welfare achievements of the "Dravidian Model" government, specifically mentioning quality road works worth Rs 25 crore for 30 km and drinking water connections worth Rs 17 crore in the region.
He also claimed that the DMK revived the laptop scheme for college students after the AIADMK abandoned it in 2019.
Looking toward a second term, he promised that the government would increase the women's entitlement amount to Rs 2,000 and build Rs 10 lakh houses under the 'Kalaignar Kanavu Illam' initiative for those without homes.
Invoking his political lineage, he told the local cadre to set a high target, noting that while the party lost the seat by a narrow margin previously, this time DMK must win by a margin of "50,000 votes to drive away the slave group".
